Question
In the given figure, AD is perpendicular to BC. Find: 15 tan y
Solution
ΔADB is a right-angled triangle.
∴ AB2
= AB2 + BD2
= 122 + 162
= 144 + 256
= 400
⇒ AB = 20cm
ΔADC is a right-angled triangle.
∴ AC2
= AD2 + DC2
= 122 + 92
= 144 + 81
= 225
⇒ AC = 15cm
15 tan y
= `15 xx "CD"/"AD"`
= `15 xx (9)/(12)`
= `(45)/(4)`.
